As the walls collapsed on the 70-year-old building, and the dust permeated the air, public officials, developers, and attendees were all smiles while some could be heard cheering in the background. The site will become the home of the new mixed-use development Orange Station at the Edge, which will have workforce units, much-desired Class A office space and more.
